A tutorial packed with practical examples and screenshots to help you become an expert in architectural visualization using Unity.This book is written for students and professional architects who know how to model buildings in 3D and have a need to turn their design into an interactive model, even if you have never used Unity before. Experience with visualization and programming will be helpful, but is not required to follow along. You will learn all the basics throughout with the help of step-by-step examples.

Unity isn't just for video games. Its rich 3D feature set makes it a great tool for creating architectural visualizations. This course explores an easy-to-follow, step-by-step workflow for building professional visualizations for interior environments like offices, hotels, homes, and more. Instructor Alan Thorn explains how to set up your project, import existing models and other assets, and build scenes from prefabs and reusable blocks. He shows how to customize the scene with furniture and props, backgrounds, cameras, and post-process effects and configure collision data for physical interactions. Next, learn how to build and assign materials and add realistic environmental lighting-the details that bring your scenes to life. Finally, learn how to add camera animation and enable first-person explorations of your visualizations. By the end of the course, you'll have the skills to build, refine, and render compelling visualizations of any architectural interior.
